Unlock Your Potential

As an SEDV student, you will enjoy the many benefits and opportunities offered by the University of Calgary and School of Public Policy to further enhance your skillset and experience as you prepare for the transition from student to energy professional.

After a 5-year career in oil and gas I was looking to prepare my career for the future. SEDV provided me an opportunity to explore both, introducing me to a diverse group of industry and academic professionals, expanding my knowledge and encouraged me to understand different perspectives.
